Follow up to this...

1. After disconnecting the battery I did NOT need to enter a radio code. (Thanks BurgBoxster)

2. The alarm did not sound when reconnecting the battery.

3. On seeing the battery I found that the previous owner had installed some cheap-o, undersized Interstate unit. FAIL. That came RIGHT out and I replaced it with a proper Bosch full sized unit ($155). Anything but a Bosch (or better) in that battery tray just looks wrong.

As for the OBC hack, I highly recommend it, but wouldn't bother with installing a new stalk, using a new button on the dash works just fine.
